3 console logs: fresh install, wininet installed and wininet installed with
rasapi32 set to native

I've been attempting to get Darkfall: New Dawn for a couple of days now.
Currently, the program cannot me installed on wine, so I have installed and
patched the game on a Windows virtual machine and then transferred it to a
fresh wine prefix.

I have added the correct Windows registry entries. They are (both string/value
pairs):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Ub3rgames\Darkfall New Dawn]
DataPath = C:\Program Files\Darkfall New Dawn\data\
ProgramPath = C:\Program Files\Darkfall New Dawn\

On a Windows machine, if I don't run the installer of the program but instead
simply add the said registry entries, the game runs, provided the paths are set
correctly (I can also move the program to another folder, update the paths and
it will work). On wine, this will not work.

A way to test if the game recognises the installation seems to be to attempt to
run 'darkfall.exe' in the data directory directly. On Windows, if the registry
entries are not said, this will spawn an error saying the game is not installed
correctly. This same error however always appear on wine, no matter if the
registry keys are set or not.

Since I am no wine expert, I have also been pondering if the problem could be
internet access. After installing wininet via winetricks, console output at
time of running the game changes, and I noticed the following line:
fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsW RAS support is not implemented! Configure program
to use LAN connection/winsock instead!
So in addition to a fresh install with the bare minimum of libraries installed,
I also attempted with wininet installed, and lastly, due to the
RasEnumConnectionsW error, I tried setting rasapi32 to 'native' in winecfg.
Console outputs for all of these are included in the attached file.

I also tried to install the game in wine 1.7.4 and received similar results, so
I don't believe this to be a regression issue. Lastly, the wineprefixes I've
tried have been 32-bit - I also tried a 64-bit one, but there the launcher
itself crashes when opened. The wine version used is indeed the official
1.9.14.

Should somebody need the program to debug the issue, it is freely available
upon registration on it's website.
